Service was great, food was fantastic. Visited Scratch for a birthday dinner and excited to go back. Deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts are must dos. Highly recommend! For being a Saturday, we were shocked at how slow it was.

Came here for a work team dinner, and we did a bunch of apps and then I had the Scratch Fried Chicken. Everything was really good, but the standout was the Grilled Artichoke appetizer. However, I wish they made a lobster roll without mayonnaise.

Brunch is delicious. You can order a la carte items or any of the items from the brunch menu. I love the biscuits and the fried calamari. The place doesn't get that crowded.

I had the chicken & waffles. It was really good! The chicken is made fresh; the waffles have cornmeal. Real maple syrup for the win. Amazingly the little fruit garnish was also super delish.
